3 truths and 2 lies - Brasil edition:

1. Brasil is home to the largest population of Japanese descendants living outside of Japan, numbering around 2 million people (around 1% of the country's population).

2. Brasil is home to the largest population of Italian descendants living outside of Italy, numbering around 30 million people (around 14% of the country's population).

3. Due to centuries of colonial ties, more than half of the current population (214M) of Brasil holds dual citizenship with Portugal.

4. There are more people of Lebanese descent living in Brasil than in the entire country of Lebanon (6M).

5. There are only 11 countries in the EU with more habitants than the greater São Paulo area.

3. and 5. are lies.

3. Not many portuguese immigrants actually stayed in Brasil after the colonial period, and also due to the huge number of immigrants from many other nations, they only made for a very small part of the current population.

5. The population of the greater São Paulo area is estimated to be over 21M. There are actually only 5 - Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland. If this was Europe and not only EU, there would have been 8 - Russia, UK, Ukraine.
